For deployment or disaster recovery, you can create an image form your bootdisk with Clonezilla and restore it to the same disk.You nedd:

a bootable USB stick (256MB+) with CloneZilla

a suitable napp-it image on an 16/32 GB USB stick, disk or network share.If you use an USB stick, size depends on the size of the systemimage

The image will work with many mainboards/systems but you must use an identical bootdisk

A restore of the image is quite simple: Boot with the clonezilla USB stick, select restore disk, select the image from a second stick/disk or a share and restore the systemdisk The default image configures all nics automatically for DHCP.. Root pw is unset.

Another method for disaster recovery and system deployment is (this works online, does not require a shutdown)- replicate the bootenvironment to a removable disk with a zpool on it (or a file as target)- install a minimal default OmniOS form an USB stick- restore this bootenvironment- boot it

napp-it supports bootenvironments as source and target for replications
